This is Operational an Amplifier (Op-Amp) Oscillator circuit. This circuit has some advantages, they are this circuit can be operated at low frequencies with relatively small capacitors, it has a completely-symmetrical output waveform along with a buffered output and it will always self start and cannot hang up because there is less dc positive feedback [...]

This circuit is a simple buzzer circuit and it called novel buzzer. It only uses a relay in series with a small audio transformer and speaker. The relay will operate via the transformer primary and closed relay contact, when the switch is pressed. The normally closed contact will open as soon as the relay operates, [...]
